Long grass warbler flying

Chapter 23 Heartstrings

If Ji Xiao knew that getting Chu Lan to confess was more difficult than going to heaven, it would be very difficult for him to choke out an extremely subtle quotation from the scriptures, and he would surely beat his chest, hating himself for not reading enough books and not knowing Natsume Soseki's famous quotes.

After listening to Chu Lan's words, he nodded seriously, looked at Yunjianyue, and said in agreement, "Well, it's quite beautiful."

Chu Lan looked at him strangely, then stopped talking cryptically.Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood today, Ji Xiao moved towards Chu Lan without a trace, and said: "Tomorrow morning Zhou Yang said that he can get up later, because it is foggy and it is difficult to see the road. If you are too tired today, why don't you have a good rest……"

"You and Jiang Xinghe really want to sleep together today?"

Ji Xiao: "Squeeze casually, he has a boyfriend and he won't do anything to me, so don't overdo it."

Chu Lan didn't speak, Ji Xiao thought he minded, and he didn't know what kind of mentality it was, and added: "Actually, you think... I can understand. But I like boys, it doesn't mean anyone can do it, I..."

Chu Lan covered her ears impatiently: "Okay, I got it. Why are you talking so much?"

The rarer he is, the cuter he looks, Ji Xiao couldn't help but laugh, the distance between them was less than arm's length, he took advantage of the situation and rubbed Chu Lan's head.Rubbing his fingertips covering his ears, Ji Xiao pretended not to care and joked so that everything would be so natural: "Chu Lan, do you know that you are so cute?"

Never knowing that she could still have something to do with the word "cute", Chu Lan's eyes widened in disbelief, Ji Xiao made an inch of it, and while he was confused, he poked his face directly: "It's even cuter."

After doing this, he was afraid that Chu Lan would react like he was going to explode, so he jumped up and fled towards the guest house.Just two steps away, Chu Lan grabbed his hand: "Please tell me clearly, who, who..."

He almost tripped over the threshold, and he had no choice but to freeze into a posture with one foot inside and one foot outside.Chu Lan's hand was slightly cold, but the palm was warmly pressed against the back of his hand. Ji Xiao was stunned. Behind them was the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni, with a compassionate expression.

Chu Lan suddenly withdrew her hand, suddenly no longer entangled with Meng's question, and strode forward with a slightly embarrassed back.

Ji Xiao raised his head, stared at the Buddha who saved all sentient beings silently for a moment, and then burst out laughing—it has been almost a month, and he felt so happy for the first time.

Because of the exhaustion on the first day, there is no need to hurry the next day.But there was no need to let him sleep for too long in the morning, Jiang Xinghe didn't sleep well, and in the middle of the night Ji Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and kicked him to the floor, smashing the quilt, only in exchange for half a night's sleep.

When Chu Lan pushed their door open to call Ji Xiao to get up, what she saw was Jiang Xinghe getting up from the ground.

He just woke up, his mind was still confused, he took a pair of pants and put them on himself, muttering: "Why did I fall to the ground in the middle of the night..." Jiang Xinghe looked up to see Chu Lan, but before he could react, he said directly: " Morning."

Chu Lan was stunned, and replied good morning very cooperatively.

There was an egg roll bulging on the bed, Jiang Xinghe walked over without seeing it, took a water glass and went out to brush his teeth.Chu Lan stood there for a while, and finally stretched out his hand to push the egg roll. Hearing an impatient moaning sound from inside, he grabbed a corner of the quilt and lifted it up, and saw Ji Xiao's short, fluffy, unkempt hair.

Ji Xiao sleeps wearing a vest, half of which is rolled up, his abdominal muscles are faintly visible, his arms that often play basketball are smooth, and he is currently pillowing under his neck.Chu Lan looked away a little, and put the quilt back on him.

The suddenly brightening environment made people instinctively want to escape, Ji Xiao turned over first, and immediately buried his face in the quilt, like a puppy who refuses to face reality, dawdling and refusing to wake up.With a hard heart, Chu Lan grabbed the pillow next to her and slapped Ji Xiao, "Get up!"

His voice was not loud, but Ji Xiao sat up as soon as he turned over, and then he gathered up the quilt and rolled himself up, with a frightened expression: "Chu Lan, why did you come in?"

It happened that Jiang Xinghe wasn't there, so Chu Lan said without any pressure, "Jiang Xinghe is up, I'll wait for you when I get up."

Ji Xiao said oh, he straightened up slowly, took his clothes from the back of the chair next to him, and then showed a flattering smile: "Well... is it convenient for you to go out?"

Chu Lan frowned, but still turned around and walked out of the door: "What are you afraid of, I have everything you have... nerves."

Then closed the door for him.Ji Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, his head drooped, and he buried himself in the quilt again. He sat where he was, quietly waiting for the morning physiological reaction to subside, and then changed his clothes as usual.

"I have everything you have." Ji Xiao muttered, "It's okay to be seen by you, I don't know what to make up for."

Rest overnight and continue on the road. The next day's itinerary does not need to be rushed, but as the altitude becomes higher and the slope becomes steeper, the difficulty of climbing the mountain has not decreased at all.The higher you go, the clouds cover the fog and the back is often sweaty, but the oncoming wind is quite cool in autumn, which is a rare experience.

When we reach the middle and high altitude hiking trails, the number of people gradually increases, and we can often come across a small shop after climbing a few sections. There are cold mineral water, biscuits and potato chips, and watermelons in the spring water.

"Alan?" Fan Fan asked the proprietress to cut up the melon, and handed over a slice.

Chu Lan felt awkward holding it in his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Ji Xiao, so it was logical to send it under Ji Xiao's nose.This implication couldn't be more obvious. Ji Xiao has Fan Fan's backpack in his left hand and a mineral water bottle in his right. He couldn't spare a place to take it, and felt that this piece of melon was hard-won, so it would be a pity to shake his head.

He was standing one step lower than Chu Lan. Ji Xiao thought for a while, then bit Chu Lan's hand in the middle, chewed and swallowed quickly, and then took another mouthful: "It's so sweet."

Chu Lan: "..."

Ji Xiao moved quickly, and he had no time to get away, so he turned his face away in embarrassment, maintaining this strange posture until Ji Xiao finished eating the piece of watermelon.Fan Fan next to him had "Ouch" written all over his face, while Zhai Xinen couldn't help laughing.

With the watermelon juice in his hand, he washed his hands expressionlessly, and walked ahead without making a sound, ending the short rest early.

Chu Lan strode to lead the way, Ji Xiao rushed up and squeezed side by side with him on the narrow climbing path, leaning on the guardrail with one hand, looked at Chu Lan with his head slightly, and explained guiltily: "Angry? I won't be like this after I get angry."

Chu Lan glanced at him, feeling a little bit offended.Probably because of the ambiguous atmosphere of his unclear sentence the night before, Ji Xiao always felt that Chu Lan was not avoiding him so much, and tentatively leaned towards him, the two of them rubbed their shoulders, their arms touched each other, and Chu Lan flinched for a moment , I feel that Ji Xiao's gaze has been staying on himself.

It's getting more and more inappropriate, he thought, and took two quick steps forward.

The morning dew is waiting for the sun, but the sun is not good this day, and the cloud and mist situation has not improved at all until two o'clock in the afternoon.The edges of the steps were covered with moss and were extremely slippery.

Chu Lan didn't step on it firmly, and suddenly felt that he lost his center of gravity. He just stretched out his hand to grab the guardrail next to him, but his feet slipped so that he fell backward, and his hands were scratched with blood.A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "What should I do if I fell stupid!"

In the end, he failed to experience the feeling of face-first landing in the TV series as he wished. Halfway through the weightlessness, Chu Lan fell into someone's arms, and the other person took a step back. Holding on to the guardrail—but also dizzy, Chu Lan immediately stood up straight, but did not let go of the hand in front of her.

Ji Xiao hugged him very tightly, almost leaning on Chu Lan's shoulder.

He pushed Ji Xiao unnaturally: "I'm fine...Thank, thank you."

Immediately waking up like a dream, Ji Xiao let go of him, saw the wound on Chu Lan's hand, and neatly took out the iodine and a band-aid from his backpack: "I'll treat it for you, don't get infected."

Chu Lan, who can't take care of herself and has a tenth level of outdoor independent survivability, doesn't doubt that he is there, so she directly raises her hand under Ji Xiao's eyes.

His skin is fair, and bruised and purple blood vessels can be seen faintly on the inside of his arms. Although the palm joints are not exaggerated, it is enough to show that they are boys' bones.At this moment, there was a cut at the base of the thumb, intermittently, and the deepest part was scratched near the wrist, which was bleeding continuously.

Ji Xiao took a band-aid and pasted it on the base of his finger, then handed the iodine to Chu Lan, and poured water to wash his wound. Cleaned up, the bacteria thrived enough to form several choirs.

"Be patient." Taking back the iodine from Chu Lan's hand, Ji Xiao poured it on without mercy.

His clenched arms trembled slightly, but Chu Lan didn't make a sound, just like Ji Xiao said, "enduring a knife on the head".When Ji Xiao took out bandages and ointment like a robot cat, Zhou Yang exclaimed: "A Xiao, your pocket is a treasure bag, you really look like an old woman."

Ji Xiao pouted at him half-fake and half-truth: "You might get hurt when you come out to climb the mountain, and this thing is not heavy... Well, be careful when you take a bath at night, don't worry if it won't leave scars."

Chu Lan nodded, retracted her hand and touched the place where he grabbed it, and found that there were two light pink fingerprints on the place Ji Xiao pinched.He was a little dazed watching, and didn't follow the big army until Fan Fan called him.

The altitude of 2000 meters is not enough to trigger altitude sickness, because the trip is short, stop and go the next day, and still arrive at the place where the cableway is taken many times in advance.

This place is the last stop of the Panshan Highway, only half an hour's walk away from the cableway, and further up is the top of the mountain.Most of the tourists who plan to go directly to the top of the mountain to worship Buddha, watch the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds all settle here. The business of hotels and restaurants is booming. Zhou Yang wants to watch the sunrise, but he is sure that the lazy things headed by Chu Lan will definitely not get up at 03:30 Climbing the mountain, the hotel is directly set on the top of the more expensive mountain.

There were so many people waiting for the cableway, and as the closing time approached, they became more and more restless.

Ji Xiao stood behind Chu Lan, perhaps the kiss he stole at the airport early in the morning and the two days of harmonious coexistence made him a lot more courageous.Taking advantage of the crowds around, Ji Xiao approached and rubbed his chin on the top of Chu Lan's head.

He really grew in height in high school, while Chu Lan kept growing at a constant rate of one centimeter every year, and now the two of them have widened a very - in Fan Fan's words, "cute" - height difference.Ji Xiao raised Chu Lan by a head, his thoughts moved slightly, and his hand holding a bottle of mineral water suddenly reached out under Chu Lan's eyes, forming a strange embrace.

"Drink water, are you tired?" When he turned his head to speak, he saw Chu Lan's red ears.

In the past, Chu Lan was still natural and indifferent to all his thoughts, Ji Xiao didn't bother to tease him, thinking that it was not only boring, but also ruined their "friendship".Now Chu Lan knows well that when he meets him, he is like a little milk cat with its teeth and claws open, poking around with curious eyes, turning around and slipping away when he is about to be caught, which arouses Ji Xiao's desire to tease him. Mixed with his favorite, it will burn like a prairie fire.

He had never seen Chu Lan like this before, but he wanted to pamper him more than any other side.

Ji Xiao looked away, unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle with the bracelet in front of Chu Lan, with an extremely upright and serious expression.Chu Lan stepped back a little, and her thin back bumped into his chest. She was in a dilemma, so she rolled her eyes, took Ji Xiao's mineral water bottle, and gently touched his ribs with her elbow: " Stop messing around, are you interested?"

There is no yin and yang in the slightest, but it is almost a whisper, like a whisper between lovers. Ji Xiao was very comfortable with Chu Lan's words, and stepped back to a safe distance: "It's very interesting."

Chu Lan: "..."

Not far from them, Zhou Yang frowned suspiciously: "Why do I feel that the atmosphere between A Xiao and A Lan is weird? Is it my illusion? Do you feel weird with the surname Jiang? How can there be any buddies?" so……"

Jiang Xinghe was speechless, so he could only give him a mysterious smile.

After waiting for half an hour for the cableway, it was a matter of course to find the reserved hotel and check in.Zhai Xinen took the key and planned to divide it according to the first night, so he gave it to Jiang Xinghe and Chu Lan.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xinghe turned his head and abducted Zhou Yang: "Single bed room, I'll live with you, or Ah Xiao will beat me up—you don't know, I snatched his quilt last night, and he threw me directly Get out of bed, it's so heartless!"

The last sentence imitated the Taiwanese accent, and how wronged he was. Zhou Yang was taken away by him without warning. There is no objection to this arrangement.Zhou Yang was besieged on all sides, isolated and helpless, pawing at the wall for fear of being swallowed by Jiang Xinghe.

Fan Fan comforted him: "Don't worry, you are like... Xinghe can't eat it."

Zhou Yang was dragged away with a whimper, almost leaving his claw marks on the wall.Chu Lan said Zhuge Liang and slowly after the incident: "We should let him get along with Jiang Xinghe more, otherwise he would be so homophobic, hey...it's not good."

He held the key and walked briskly, leaving the last three people looking at each other.

Zhai Xinen trembled: "Chu Lan... Has Chu Lan changed his sex?"

Fan Fan was anxious: "I have an ominous premonition, Ah Xiao, you should cover yourself with the quilt when you sleep today."

Ji Xiao: "Hehe."

He didn't care about it at all, and just followed Chu Lan, and when he was beside him, he put a hand on Chu Lan's shoulder, and the other party didn't realize it, and opened the door with this awkward posture.

A certain kind of joy is rising, and the whole process from budding to towering is quickly completed with a leaping trend.The five semesters of high school are far-sighted but not playful, and the struggle and pain of more than one month after graduation all suddenly fell apart in Chu Lan's silent acquiescence. In the ruins, hope broke through the soil with prosperity.

"I can stop being cautious." Ji Xiao thought to himself, "He has a crush on me, so I can... I can start chasing him."

The author has something to say:

"Zhou Yang thought that there was only one gay among the four, but in the end he was the only one who was straight."

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ! !I can laugh at this sentence until next year! !
